it's katrina. when you lose your home, it's more than blues are experiencing or people coming back and dealing with the economy without a job or individuals coming back from the war. what i've been focused on, for years people studied post-traumatic stress and its effects but in the past years there's post-traumatic growth, people with the stimulus that caused the stress now they grow like never before. someone loses their arm or job, the first thing that separates from other people is the part inside of them that say i will not let this defeat me. there's something inside where they draw the line. if they do that, three things happen, someone who makes it through the post-traumatic situation and grow. first, they really discover who they are, what their strengths and ability are. people realize they are stronger and find out who their real friends, are not the facebook friends and the people who are there for you when things are going you have to and deepens all the relationships and it gives you

you were governor of mississippi when hurricane katrina came through. you know what you had to do in terms of working with the federal government. a lot of heat on chris christie, the governor of new jersey for being seen touring his state with president obama and praising his leadership. in your opinion, did governor christie break some unwritten rule? >> look, the governor, whether it's governor of mississippi or new jersey is supposed to do what's in the best interest of his state and his people. and when you have a big disaster like this, a governor knows that not for the next few weeks or months, but for years the federal government's going to be their partner. you know, it's very interesting to me when i didn't criticize george bush after katrina, the press attacked me for not criticizing, saying i was partisan. i did just exactly what chris christie did in this sense. i was taught criticize in private, praise in public, but criticize in private. and besides that, the federal government did a whole lot more right than wrong. for christie and new j

. >> i think a lot of people look and think, wait a second, after hurricane katrina the price of gas went up, but that's because that storm struck in a different region of the country. >> well, yes indeed. 25% of the nation's refining capacity is on the gulf coast. katrina was a category 5 storm which meant refineries near the coast took a lot more wind, a lot more water, although sandy was properly named a super storm, it didn't have the sustained wind that we see on the gulf coast with a category 5, and so you didn't have anywhere near the damage to the production facilities. but what makes the new york area, new jersey, new york, connecticut so complicated, matt in, terms of the supply system is you don't have that many refineri refineries. therefore you rely on pipelines and ports, and the ports took quite a bit of damage. you couldn't get barges and ships in there right away. >> right. >> the refineries weren't too badly damaged, but the pipeline was also shut down for a while because it exits on the water. >> let me ask you this then as someone who knows the industry and the de
